Transforming Conflict and Difficulty

Teachings and guided meditations based on Geshe Kelsang's book How to Solve Our Human Problems and Shantideva's legendary chapter on patience from Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life. Our own mind of anger creates so many problems, and our inability to let go of this painful mind keeps us stuck in conflicted situations. In this course, we will learn how to identify and reduce anger and aversion, even in their subtle and repressed forms.
